Bug Description

This is a bug report following on from discussion here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863325

To summarize.

In KDE with left-handed mouse button enabled...
"left-button-click" signal doesn't get passed on to any Gtk3 apps running in KDE."

Gedit example:

So, for example: Run gedit under kubuntu, CTRL+O to open file open dialog. Clicking on directory tree, or files 'does not work'.
Keyboard shortcuts then need to be used to navigate, select.

The problem started on ubuntu/kubuntu 11.10.
Have now upgraded to KDE 4.8 (to see if issue is solved), but problem still persists.

The application functions normally with right-handed mouse.
